PS3 and Xbox 360 fans, your stalwart devotion to outdated technology has been rewarded. 2K games today has announced that the new Who Got NXT mode for WWE 2K15 will be coming exclusively to last-gen consoles.
John Cena Rages Against The Dying Of The Light In WWE 2K15 Commercial
Who Got NXT focuses on five NXT Superstars - Sami Zayn, Adrian Neville, Rusev, Corey Graves and Bo Dallas. Each character must wrestle his way through four sequential matches in an all new story mode. Once you win, and not only win but complete all of the match stipulations, the character is unlocked in your current WWE 2K15 roster pool.
Upon successfully unlocking the five characters, players will be able to participate in the new Proving Ground match. The Proving Ground is the spiritual successor to WWE 2K14's Defeat the Streak. In Defeat the Streak, players were tasked with ending Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak (which sadly in ended this year at 21 years), while in the Proving Ground match, players will match up against John Cena.
We Are Xur There's New Destiny Coming This Weekend
Let us hope that the wrestlers do not have to top Cena's unbelievable streak of Make-A-Wish visits.
"The match itself is a traditional, 1-on-1 match with a 30 minute time limit. The Proving Ground match also contains mode-specific commentary that can be heard during the entrance scenes, gameplay and victory scene. Like Defeat the Streak, you're provided a score at the end of your match, and should you manage to beat Cena, you'll be able to upload your score to the Proving Ground online leaderboard. Here's a tip: if you force Cena to submit, you'll score a huge win bonus."
A new developer diary from senior designer Bryan Williams goes into more detail regarding the Who Got NXT game mode. Check out the full article here.
WWE 2K15 comes out next week on October 28 for PS3 and Xbox 360. The PS4 and Xbox One versions are due out on November 18.
